Thanks for posting Steven.

Can I ask..

Did you cut the "needles" to the appropriate length?

Or did you use some technique to get shorter "needles"....?

Thanks,
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Steven,
thanks for the progression. I learned a lot...You inspired me to enter casuarina.
Boics,
Steven said he pulled the needles...to shorten them. Like cutting them but shortening them by pulling.
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.
